Abstract:The death rate on Nebraska roadways during 2010 was .97 persons killed per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. This is the lowest death rate recorded since the state first began keeping motor vehicle crash statistics in 1936. The trend of declining death rates has been going on for many years, as shown in Figure 1 below. Although the rate fluctuates from year to year, the overall trend is significantly downward. Much of this reduction can be attributed to improvements in vehicle design, roadway engineering, emergency medical services, specific safety programs, enforcement and improved driver awareness. Figure 2 (page 3) depicts the number of fatal crashes per year for the last 10 years. There were 166 fatal crashes in 2010, 39 less than were recorded in 2009. Fatal accidents make up only a small portion of the total crashes in Nebraska. Property damage only (PDO) crashes make up the majority. Figure 3 (page 3) shows the percentage distribution of all crash types. In 2010, there were 166 fatal crashes, 11,562 injury crashes, and 21,484 property damage only crashes. Fatal crashes made up .5% of all accidents, and injury and PDO crashes made up 34.8% and 64.7%, respectively.
